The 14th Dalai Lama, who's lived outside of Tibet since 1959 and just turned 90 years old, announced last week that he will be reincarnated. In other words, the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism says he will have a successor. He also said that Tibetan religious authorities living outside of China will have the responsibility of locating that successor. For its part, the Chinese government insists that it, alone, can choose the next Dalai Lama. The World's Matthew Bell reports.
